Manufactured in the UK from premium quality steel, every Schneider Underground Oil Tank benefits from cathodic protection against the risk of corrosion. Pioneered by the Royal Navy in the Nineteenth Century, the principle of cathodic protection is already firmly established in other storage tank sectors.

The new range has been launched following requests from TankDepot.co.uk customers for an effective, approved means of storing oil underground.

Whilst above ground oil tanks are ideal for most oil storage applications, there are a small but growing number of customers who are asking for an effective, affordable and approved means of storing heating oil underground. As purpose designed underground oil tanks, the new 1,200 litre and 1,900 litre models from Schneider address this requirement and bring with them to the marketplace, decades of experience in the design and manufacture of underground storage vessels.

Recently, LPG companies have been differentiating their product offering from oil heating, upon the basis of being able to offer consumers an underground storage option. In that context, it is useful for the oil heating industry to be able to offer a competitively priced, purpose designed, underground alternative.

Once installed, all that remains visible is a manhole, providing access to the fill area of the tank. The main body of the tank is hidden underground. Schneider’s underground tanks are ideal for installation at new build installations in rural areas and at existing properties, undergoing refurbishment. Despite only being recently launched, interest from customers has been strong.”
